[Demagog]

So I need someone to make the card for me; I don't have the time nor need to teach myself how. Your help, as always, is appreciated.

Name: Shuriken
Element: Other
Type: Weapon
Cost: 4 General
Damage: 0
Card Description: Wield 8 Shuriken.
Ability: Flying Weapon: Turn this card into a creature.
Ability Cost: 0
Damage/Health while flying: 5/0  Immortal


Upgraded:
Name: Flying Stars
Element: Other
Type: Weapon
Cost: 6 General
Damage: 0
Card Description: Wield 8 Flying Stars.
Ability: Flying Weapon: Turn this card into a creature.
Ability Cost: 0
Damage/Health while flying: 7/0  Immortal

Again, whoever makes the card for me, thanks. The Damage/Health part isn't part of the card description, that's just for the purpose of this thread.

I guess no one likes my card idea... (

* = booger

It was actually a typo.

[TheMadEvil]

it's ok, but i don't think it's really enough damage to warrant using it. unupped it's 20 damage (without buffs), upped its 30. That's just 6 turns with most other weapons, which actually have abilities. Maybe add poison? that'd make it very powerful, but upping cost a few (maybe 5) and making sure its ability is usable once per turn should cover that

actually, i love the idea of poisoned throwing stars...

[Demagog]

I originally had it at more damage, but I tend to overpower things, so I toned it down. Also, blessing and other buffing spells could be used and you'd basically get a strong cheap card... a 6/3 creature for like 6 quanta? You could probably make a deck based on this card, blessings, heavy armors, and rage potions. Use supernovas for quanta and fire mark for the rage potions. That's 5 cards total which makes a 30 card deck.

Aesthetically for the card (and mechanically as well) maybe have it create immortal creatures? That way you could power it up a little without worrying about the creatures staying around?

[Demagog]

Ya I thought about that too... sure, I'll say they are while flying and raise there stats...

[bigbadbanana]

*whistles* wow, with 6 random quanta you do 56 damage... so with 12 quanta you win... do you see what i'm getting at?

[Demagog]

Except it can be blocked, and it's awful slow don't you think?

What is the cost of morning glory? It does 8 damage. And EE does 7. Vampire dagger will now do 6. So it's really a balanced card.

The only way you can speed this up is if you use flying/animate weapon, but you can only have 6 of those in your deck.

Wait.. I may have misunderstood what this card does. I thought that you play it, wait one turn, use its ability which is flying weapon, and 8 flying stars pop out when you use flying weapon. Then all the flying stars die like balls of lightning.

[xdude]

Not really, they pop out 1 at a time...

[bigbadbanana]

ohhhhhhh.... now it makes sense... well then in that perspective, GREAT CARD

[Demagog]

Ya, I figured it would be nice to have another weapon you don't have to worry about being destroyed/stolen. If they try to get rid of this weapon, it only gets rid of one of your shurikens, just like with bone wall.
